Session Description
The mobile industry is uniquely positioned to tackle identity challenges, underpinning digital safety and trust. The Mobile Identity Summit will showcase the sector’s momentum and shed light on the many dimensions where mobile and identity converge and evolve.
With the rise of advanced cyber threats, evolving user expectations, and new regulatory demands, the digital environment demands innovative approaches to trust and identity. Fraud is moving faster than digital transformation, with AI now amplifying the risks whilst enabling novel defences. Every channel faces a growing pressure to enable trusted engagement between users and organisations. Enterprises and governments need improved approaches in authentication, age assurance, fraud detection and digital identity.
Against this backdrop, mobile technology is establishing the essential identity layer needed to foster trust. At this intersection of mobile and identity, the industry is taking a pivotal role in shaping the digital trust landscape.
Industry experts will share real-world examples of solutions addressing identity challenges across sectors today, alongside thought-provoking perspectives on the future direction of mobile identity.
Join our summit and connect with industry leaders as mobile takes centre stage in the digital trust conversation.

Session 2: Identity in Users' Hands: Mobile as the Trust Platform
Duration: 75 minutes
At the heart of digital trust are end-users, who expect robust protection for their interactions with organisations and increasingly take an active role in confirming their identity. As spoofed calls and impersonation scams fuel a crisis of trust in voice communication, businesses are challenged to reconnect with customers and protect their reputation. Globally, digital identity is increasingly being placed directly in the hands of users through solutions like identity wallets and mobile identity.
In this session, we will explore how the mobile industry is embedding identity across the voice and digital channels, including:
- How identity restores trust in communications, protecting users and empowering organisations
- Why embracing mobile as the platform of choice will deliver strong universal digital identity and how leading organisations are leveraging this opportunity
- The path to global interoperability
Topics in scope include:
- Trusted calls
- Enterprise identity vetting
